Machine Control Systems

Trimble and Caterpillar® have co-developed the most advanced and robust portfolio of GPS machine control and guidance systems in the industry. These systems leverage our shared expertise in machine control and guidance technologies, Trimble’s expertise in data management, software, positioning and jobsite infrastructure and Caterpillar’s expertise in heavy equipment in the construction industry. Cat AccuGrade™ and Trimble Grade Control Systems have been designed to be fully compatible at the site level—utilizing the same data structure and format, the same user interface in cab and in the office and the same GNSS and Total Station-based site infrastructure. Only our machine control is flexible enough to let you equip your entire fleet—excavators, dozers, scrapers, graders, trimmers, milling machines, compactors, pavers and more—with fully upgradeable GPS technology for heavy equipment.
